What riser and cupboard fire doors in Maghull should include
When you book riser and cupboard fire doors in Maghull, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Maghull has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Riser and meter cupboard doors in Maghull blocks are easy to overlook until an inspection flags them. We match riser doors in Maghull to the rating of the riser enclosure, not to whatever was there before.
The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
What you get:
- Signage as required
- Locks and keep-locked arrangements as specified
- Record of any fire stopping concerns found
- Single and double flush configurations

What rating should a riser door be?
It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.

Fire stopping is a separate specialist trade. We record anything we see while fitting doors and can coordinate with your fire stopping contractor.
